Complete Supply List for these Cards

Playing in the Rain Handmade Card

Here's the cute handmade card that I made during my YouTube live. I love the look of using the lighter patterned paper on the bottom and the darker piece on the top with the cloud bottom. I cut the top piece of the Rain or Shine Designer Series Paper with the Basic Borders dies.

The rabbit was stamped, colored with Stampin' Blends alcohol markers, and die-cut with the coordinating dies. The same is true of the puddles. But the umbrella was die-cut from the patterned paper. You can catch a little of the shine from the embossed portion of the paper.

And of course, I had to add the sentiment to a piece of Basic Gray cardstock cut with the Cloud Punched.

Fun Card for a Friend

Here's a cute little foxy card that would be perfect to send to a friend. I think it'd be great as a thank you card after they did something nice for you when you were sick or in need. When would you send this card?

I die-cut the fox from the patterned paper with the Playing in the Rain dies and added it to the front with Stampin' Dimensionals. The sentiment is stamped on Basic White and cut with the Cloud punch. I also added a couple clouds cut with the die cuts.

Here's the fun fold card that I made during this week's Stamp with Me Tuesday. You'll find more samples of this card design over here. I didn't use any of the die-cuts on this card because I wanted to keep it simpler. Instead, I stamped the turtle, clouds, and flowers and colored them with Stampin' Blends alcohol markers. And of course, I used the Cloud punch again!
